abuseYea, I question your structure of rhyme here. (Hey, you asked for constructive criticism so here I am)

I think what detracts from the 'poetic' feel is that the rhyming is almost forced, and each line feels like prose, not poetry. For example, the first two lines could be fixed to

A friend like you is a treasure to behold,One that stands the test of time which makes things old.

Using terms like "make me blue" sounds kinda childish (belongs more in a song than a poem).

Then, you repeat the main themes of the poem too much. Saying the same thing over and over is fine, but you fall to the mistake of expressing the same idea just using different words and not much else. Oi, and it's too happy-go lucky, making it sound indeed like a song.

Just my 2 cents.
